How to Help Apache Kafka Achieve Elasticity Based on Cloud-Native Technology

Explore how to enhance Apache Kafka's elasticity using cloud-native technology in this 41-minute conference talk by Xu Han, Storage Technology Lead at AutoMQ. Gain insights into the current challenges faced by Apache Kafka, including difficulties in elastic scalability, capacity planning for peak loads, and compute-storage coupling. Discover the concept of Elastic Stream and its potential to transform Kafka into a serverless solution. Learn about the stateless Kafka Broker elastic architecture based on Elastic Stream, and understand how leveraging cloud infrastructure can lead to significant cost savings of up to 70% for Kafka deployments. Delve into practical strategies for improving Kafka's performance and efficiency in enterprise environments where it serves as a critical data transmission channel, streaming computation analysis tool, and data integration platform.
